year unless he can get it some way postponed. some intending himself in power is critically important not just to his legacy, but there was freedom. because if he loses power, he can get it some way postponed. some intending himself in power is critically important notjust to his legacy, but there was freedom. because if he loses power, you be faced with a conviction or the need to do a plea deal which will force them out of politics. in the magic number is 64. that's a number to satisfy the american constituency, meet the requirements of his own military, the hostage families in an effort to figure out a way to survive. his primary constituency, though, continues to be his right wing base, and that's what he did here. he stirred up relations with the republicans. he is going to see former president trump tomorrow in florida. i think there are probably will be a deal in the next several weeks. i don't think we can get

beyond phase one, and that won't just be on mr netanyahu. that's because hamas and israel's in games here are probably mutually irreconcilable. so i'll hit the prospect of a deal is high. hamas is under pressure. netanyahu is under pressure. there may well be as since of urgency between them. you mention the fact that he — of urgency between them. you mention the fact that he is _ of urgency between them. you mention the fact that he is would _ of urgency between them. you mention the fact that he is would be _ the fact that he is would be visiting donald trump in florida tomorrow. he is also we understand going to be meeting with kamala harris potentially today. is that a different conversation than he has had with the administration up until now because of the position that she is now as a woman that wants to be the next president? i is now as a woman that wants to be the next president?— the next president? i think that until november, _ the next president? i think that until november, assuming - the next president? i think that until november, assuming she | until november, assuming she selected, that the conversation with netanyahu and the public will be more or less with the president's term. which is to avoid sustained

public acrimony. she has been very tough and some of her public statements, but i don't know if you know this, these statements to her office issued in response to the pro—palestinian demonstrators, protesting mr netanyahu's speech, she came out pretty hard. it was an extremely pro—israel statement, so she is very sensitive as a modern mainstream democrat to the realities of the downsides of wrestling or tackling with the prime minister. the republicans are all ready to pounce. they have. speaker mike johnson blasted the fact that the vice president was not there sitting behind the prime minister through the speech, so my view is until november, untilshe the speech, so my view is until november, until she becomes president if that happens, she will more or less followjoe biden's life. and it will probably be trying to avoid a major or sustained break

with mr netanyahu.— with mr netanyahu. some of the hostaue with mr netanyahu. some of the hostage families _ with mr netanyahu. some of the hostage families have _ with mr netanyahu. some of the hostage families have accused . with mr netanyahu. some of the i hostage families have accused the prime minister netanyahu of dragging his heels in a sense until november, until there is perhaps a change of administration and perhaps president trump. do you go along with that theory? i trump. do you go along with that theo ? ~ , , ., theory? i think buying time for the prime minister, _ theory? i think buying time for the prime minister, as _ theory? i think buying time for the prime minister, as i _ theory? i think buying time for the prime minister, as i mentioned . theory? i think buying time for the i prime minister, as i mentioned when we first began our conversation. he is survival, not those of the hostages, is paramount, his political survival, and his freedom. it's paramount. it's that simple. anyone who expected anything else, anything other than mr netanyahu possible performance where he in a very mounie way, he brought the hostages here. and yet he is being accused by benny gantz, by the hostage families of basically dragging his feet. 44 israelis in

gaza, hostages are estimated to have died, they died either on october the 7th and their bodies were traded or they died in captivity. so the urgency here clearly if the redemption of the living and dead hostages, including the americans. and they seem to be taking a back—seat on not surprisingly it to mr netanyahu's political priorities. aaron david miller, we really appreciate your time. that you for joining us here on bbc news. thanks for havin: joining us here on bbc news. thanks for having me- _ around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

the police watchdog has said it has received a further referral from the greater manchester police enter reference to a man kicked in the

head at the manchester airport. a lawyer for three people involved in an incident with police at manchester airport says one has been found to have a cyst on the brain. greater manchester police has suspended one officer from all duties and referred itself to the independent police watchdog. there were protests last night outside rochdale police station. our uk editor ed thomas reports. you have him on the floor, stop being aggressive. hey, you got him.... chaos inside manchester airport. armed police, some with tasers. now watch the male officer. first a kick, then a stamp. the man on the ground in the light blue is motionless, his mother sitting over him. the male officer who kicked him then moves to the man sitting on the bench, who has his hands on his head. he's stamped on, and it looks like he's hit with a taser, and blood appears to be coming from this officer's nose. in distress, she's later taken away from the confusion. and later, this happened. we understand these men witnessed the first incident. they're approached by different armed officers. one is pepper sprayed...

..before two were handcuffed and taken away. we are headed to rochdale police station. this footage was posted on social media by the solicitor of the brothers involved in the stamping first incidents. his medical condition has worsened. today, he told us fahir, seen getting kicked on the ground, has been rushed to hospital. what's the health situation on both brothers? one brother is still in hospital, like i said, with a cyst on his brain. let's hope he makes a full recovery. the mother is going through some sort of post—traumatic stress disorder, and so is the other brother. and so are the children. so let's hope they make a full and complete recovery. what are their thoughts about the police and what happened? they're scared of the police. they are scared of the police. he also said the brother of these two men is a serving greater manchester police officer.

brother, i have a family member, i have a son who's a serving police officer. and what has he said about what happened? he's scared of going to work because he thinks that it might happen to him. and what do the brothers want to happen? especially to... justice. the brothers want justice. this was a joint enterprise criminal offence. so they need to be prosecuted. they need to be... that's what the family wants? prosecutions for... ? that's what we want. that's what the family want. they need to be arrested, interviewed under caution, charged and taken to a court of law. we're still not clear about the moments before the footage that has been posted on social media. greater manchester police say they were called there after reports of an assault and that three of their officers needed hospital treatment — one for a broken nose. one police officer has now been suspended, and today, the prime minister gave his thoughts on this incident. i understand the public's concerned.

i've seen it myself— and understand that concern. there have now been, ithink, the suspension of one police i officer this morning. and this was the mayor of greater manchester today, andy burnham, who oversees gmp, responding to the footage. it is not clear—cut, i would say. and there are issues for both sides in the situation. that said, and here's where i want to be really clear — it is right that the officer has been suspended. that is the right action. i would ask for calm because what i can assure people is that the right and proper steps have been taken. today, the police watchdog, the iopc, said it was investigating the level of force used by officers and would examine all of the circumstances surrounding the incident. ed thomas, bbc news, rochdale.

enemy infantry and enemy armoured vehicle. they are cheap and devastatingly precise. here, aeneas�*s team hunts a russian soldier. there is no way to be alive after fpv drone hitting. and another threat — glide bombs, fitted with guidance systems, allow russian aircraft to attack from beyond the battlefield, literally gliding onto their target. they are turning lyptsi to dust. with drone jamming equipment on their vehicle, aeneas takes us to lyptsi for a closer look. aeneas, we're going very fast. why is that? is it because it's safer? because of the drones. because of the drones? because of drones, yes. it's dangerous here? there is a lot of russian fpv drones. a lot of russian fpv drones? a lot of them. that's why we're using now ourjamming system. but it doesn't stop all drones.

and once out in the open, they're exposed. ten metres between us. yeah. so we have to move fast. this is what drones and glide bombs have done to lyptsi. crossing open ground can be deadly. getting to shelter, moving deep underground, is the only protection against these weapons. what kind of mission is this today? is it surveillance, is it attack? no, it's attacking on probable positions of the russian army in the forest. command centre. yeah. drone after drone is sent forward to attack. we should go to the safe place. go, go, go, go, go. go, go, go, go, go! we watch in real time. they have a russian vehicle in their sights. every day, about 100 enemy die because of these drones,

only in ourfront—line. this is a battlefield, a war, being transformed by technology. automated voice: detection, one drone. multiple pilots. high signal strength. unseen, but identified above, a russian drone. it's time to head for cover. so that's outgoing fire. so, along these front—lines, the ukrainians have gained about 500 metres of territory from the russians. it's not a lot, and it's been hard fought over. the company commander here says that when it comes to drone warfare, the ukrainians have the advantage. but as far as glide bombs are concerned, well, russia has a serious upper hand. but now we can hear the drone directly above us.

everyone freezes. it's looking for any kind of movement before it strikes. eventually, we get the all—clear. so that drone we heard has passed overhead, so we need to get out of here fast. drones were barely a factor in this war a year ago. now they are everywhere, always. automated voice: detection, multiple drones. _ multiple pilots. high signal strength. any journey overground is nerve—racking, a game of chance. but here, even closer to the front, russian glide bombs are a greater threat. ten kilograms bomb. russian calls it "boogeyman drone". the boogeyman is big enough to take out an armoured vehicle or a command post.

it has to be launched fast, before the russians find their position. drones whir. they fly manually, while keeping watch for russian glide bombardments. and soon they come. this is a glider bomb. you can see it in the camera. it's on the battlefield now. they are hitting the trenches with soldiers. now we can hear the sound. explosion. i felt that. the window shook. what happens if russian glide bombs strike this area? hm, i think we will die. ok, let's go. and now russia responds with drones, too. fast, fast, fast, fast, fast! should move fast, because drone is coming back. on ukraine's battlefield, the rules of war are being rewritten. and here, they say all wars will soon be fought this way. go, go, go. quentin sommerville, bbc news, lyptsi, northeastern ukraine.

quentin and darren reporting there from the front line in ukraine. joining me now is senior adviser at the centre for strategic and international studies mark cancian. thank you forjoining us here on bbc news. a fascinating look at how war is changing will stop just tell us a little more about these drones. is there one particular type or lots of different types and why are they being seen as so effective in this particular conflict?— particular conflict? there are a wide variety — particular conflict? there are a wide variety of _ particular conflict? there are a wide variety of drones. - particular conflict? there are a wide variety of drones. some i particular conflict? there are a| wide variety of drones. some of particular conflict? there are a - wide variety of drones. some of them are cruise missiles that have long ranges, some of them are, because he drones it attack a particular point, some of them are like small aircraft, like creditors that will launch a weapon. and then there are these first person viewing drones that we saw that are flown by a particular operator. they become particularly important in ukraine because the front lines have

stabilised, and these short range drones to clearly the first person viewing drones can then be used. they have very short ranges, but when the two lines are stable, they can get at the other side and they also can understand the terrain. and they have had a profound effect as we saw in the last report. we have to keep in mind, though, that both sides are developing countermeasures, and those are being fielded now, which makes some of the drones less effective than they were before. . ., ., , , ., before. the technology is part of its a- eal before. the technology is part of its appeal in _ before. the technology is part of its appeal in that _ before. the technology is part of its appeal in that it's _ before. the technology is part of its appeal in that it's relatively . its appeal in that it's relatively simple, relatively cheap. it its appeal in that it's relatively simple, relatively cheap.- its appeal in that it's relatively simple, relatively cheap. it is. for the first person — simple, relatively cheap. it is. for the first person viewing _ simple, relatively cheap. it is. for the first person viewing drones, i the first person viewing drones, those only cost a few pounds, a few euros. and ukraine says it will be going through about 10,000 in a month. you have to keep in mind, too, that their effectiveness is limited. they carry basically a hand

is going to happen overnight. tonight, we'll see these weather fronts push further southwards and eastwards. the skies will largely clear. still some showers in the far north and the west, but it's a cooler start to the day tomorrow and it should be a brighter one as well. so, not quite so much cloud around tomorrow, much more in the way of sunshine — this time from the word go for most of us. there will still be some showers pushing eastwards on that westerly wind across scotland, northern ireland, perhaps northern england, to a few more isolated showers across wales and the far southwest of england. some of those showers could potentially be heavy, but the further south and east you are, then the drier your day is likely to be. and in the best of the sunshine, of course, the temperatures will react — 19—23 celsius north to south, butjust a different feel to things. and it changes again on saturday. high pressure tries to build in, but there's a weather front out towards the west that's pushing eastwards, bringing with it some cloud and some showery outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, through western wales, the north of england, some of the showers possibly sharp, and there'll also be some showers across much of scotland, too.

but again, across east anglia, perhaps the southeast of england, it could stay largely dry and temperatures here will rise to 22 or 23 degrees, but of course it will feel cooler underneath the layers of cloud. we're much more likely to see a dry day across the board on sunday. that's because high pressure will be building in from the azores. always more cloud towards the north and the west, and there will be some areas of cloud, i think, bubbling up here and there as we head through the afternoon, but some decently long, sunny spells and temperatures more widely will peak in the low 20s. i think we could get the mid 20s, perhaps across london and the south east as we head through sunday. and those temperatures in the south and the east of england in particular, will start to rise, perhaps to the high 20s into monday and tuesday. more sunshine, too, across wales, the mid 20s here, but further north and west, it's cooler with a chance of some showers. bye— bye.

hello, i'm sarah campbell. you're watching the context on bbc news. onaid on a id coded, we are taking a look at how ai can outsmart humans on the battlefield.

before that, it is sports news, and for a full round—up before that, it is sports news, and for a full round—up from before that, it is sports news, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, it is over to hugh ferris. the opening ceremony isn't until friday, but we're currently in day two of the action at pari 2024, with team usa attempting to win the women's football gold for the first time in 12 years. their opening match is against zambia, and it's new coach emma hayes�* first competitive game in charge. hosts france are playing colombia. earlier 2016 champions germany beat australia. a comfortable lead. two goals in a minute included in that. they are still in the first half, about half an hour gone. hosts france are playing colombia. earlier 2016 champions germany beat australia. 3-0. that's in the usa's group. while brazil started off with a 1—0 win over nigeria. spain started their attempt at olympic gold to last year's world cup with a win overjapan.

they came from behind to secure a 2—1victory.
